ManPower Trucking Inc. and ManPower Expedite are partnering together with community and business partners on an initiative for women especially those experiencing financial or systemic hardships.  The supply chain industry needs more female involvement in every aspect of the industry from drivers to brokers to owners. The Di-versa Training Program is a 4-8 week workshop that will introduce women into the industry, provide employment and present the many aspects/opportunities of the supply chain world.  Women will be selected that meet the criteria of the program which will allow those who are chosen the opportunity and necessary training to be qualified as safe truck drivers while adding the aspect of strengthening business and self.  Di-versa strives from the word diversity and the encouragement for more female presence within the supply chain industry, especially trucking here in Canada.  Only 3% of truck drivers in Canada are women in comparison to our neighbours in the US who now stand at 6.6%. There are so many aspects of the supply chain industry but trucking is a great entry-level that may lead to not only ownership but long-term investments, opportunities, financial security and a great sense of achievement.
